[QUOTE="Steely, post: 173160, member: 3301"] I know I keep saying this.......but seriously.........your difficult child and mine. Peas in a pod. They are so black and white. I really believe it is the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) thing. The acne medication thing - she immediately discards it because she does not see immediate, complete results. Black and white. Indicative of all behaviors with these NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) or AS kids. The world is boring, because one thing is boring. She does not wear pink, so not one thing in the world can be pink. She cannot be reminded of the past, because it is the present. She cannot go to her friend's house for even a minute, because she cannot sleep over. Black and white. Rigid thinking. And I get it. What are you gonna say at 2 in the morning? Because "no" is not enough. They just keep going on and on, until they have the next door neighbors attention, let alone yours. So many hugs. When I read your posts I just immediately relate. These kids are so emotionally draining to a parent, it is impossible to keep up. For difficult child, therapy has never worked because he has always made up his mind from the beginning to be angry and hate it, like yours. Again, black and white. He was never going to even give it a chance, and I have tried every scenario in the book, and many, many therapists. I finally have decided that he will have to be the one to decode and manipulate his rigid world - because my interference with therapy will never be the winning ticket with him. He will have to decide for himself whether he wants the help. Perhaps the same for yours. [/QUOTE]
